'Careless Love' from Pianist Erwin Helfer

Fresh Air | By Kevin Whitehead
Published January 10, 2006 at 11:05 AM EST

Pianist Erwin Helfer is a son of New Orleans who adopted Chicago as his home. His music is a blend of the jazz he grew up with and the blues he discovered. Eleven songs -- a mix of standards and originals -- illustrate his wide-ranging, energetic sound on the CD Careless Love.
